A preview clip from our King's Lynn Super Stars (1965-90 double-dics set DVD, where spectacular former Stars favourite Ian Turner explains why he disliked his nickname.
When i was 12 years old Ian Turner let me help him carry his gear into the pits at Hull Speedway when Kings Lynn visited, 21 years later when i was working as a transport supervisor at the Birds Eye factory in Hull he turned up in his lorry to make a delivery, I brought him in the office and said look who,s here and people recognised him, he said "how do you know me" he had no idea that he would be remembered after all that time....lovely humble guy...
@@mandynixon2258 He works at our depot (Peterborough) He's "Captain Slow" these days. A real nice bloke. People don't realise he was a World Class rider ! "oi garta av moi beef dinnah" is what we usually hear him say !

Wonderful story, from Ian Turner to Ian Turner!
